If you are interested in applied sport psychology and are considering whether to join AASP, you might ask yourself these questions:

  • Do I want to meet other professionals and students who are interested in sport psychology, to talk with them about their experiences and share with them some of my own?
  • Do I want to learn more about the field and develop my research or consulting skills?
  • Would I like to have the opportunity to present my ideas to others in a conference setting?
  • Would I like to join an organization that reaches out and welcomes new members?
  • Do I want to find out more about becoming an AASP certified consultant (CC-AASP)?

If your answer to any of these questions is “yes,” you might want to explore the AASP website more fully. If your answer to most of the questions is “yes,” you are definitely in the right place.
